MARSHMALLOW

- / per
Though this plant may have been used historically for medical purposes, we do not, and cannot, suggest it for any use other than ornamental use.
Be careful not to confuse marshmallow with the mallow (Malva sylvestris) flower and leaf.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 4-6'
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
